Has your hair been looking a little blah lately? It’s okay! Sometimes you just need to take a page out of a celeb’s book and change up your look or totally re-invent your style to get out of a rut.
Recently, lots of stars that have made the plunge and committed to short hair. From Shailene Woodley to Emma Watson, chopping it off is one easy way to make over your look. Need a little inspiration? Here are three dramatic celebrity hair transformations to inspire your next cut.
Celebrity Hair Transformation #1: Miley Cyrus
One of the most notable celebrity hair transformations comes courtesy of Miley Cyrus. She managed to go from lovable Disney Channel queen to twerking “Wrecking Ball” songstress. How did she manage to pull it off? Some crazy outfits, a few outrageous performances, and, oh yeah – a brand new ‘do. Known for her long brown hair during her Hannah Montana days, she changed things up post-Disney and rocked a pretty long bob for a while. Then one day, she dramatically cut it all off, shaved the sides, and dyed it white-blonde. Drama, drama, and more drama! In a flash, Miley went from sweet southern girl to bold and brazen pop star.
Some fans applauded Miley’s bravery while others weren’t so into the look. One thing is for sure: her new style definitely got people talking. If you’ve got a short, punk-inspired haircut of your own (or you’re still thinking it over), styling it is key. You’ll want to add texture and height. Try working a hair putty through your hair to give it plenty of hold and some seriously gorgeous hair.
Celebrity Hair Transformation #2: Shailene Woodley
If there’s one thing Shailene Woodley is known for, it’s her hair. During a five-season stint on The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, she made girls all over the country envious of that super long and perfectly sleek hair. When she signed up to play Hazel Grace Lancaster in the upcoming movie, The Fault In Our Stars, she chose to chop off her noteworthy locks to portray the character.
Since her hair transformation, Shailene’s career has skyrocketed. And it’s not hard to figure out why! With the recent release of young adult adaptation Divergent, she has been on every red carpet and at every notable event, showing off her sophisticated haircut. While she’s been known to wear her short style with some volume or even a little texture, her best look is simple, sleek, and glossy. To get this style at home, always use the right products. We like a super strong hold that gives control and shine. Simply apply from the root and brush through with a comb.
Celebrity Hair Transformation #3: Emma Watson
During her Harry Potter days, Emma Watson was totally rocking that Hermione Granger-inspired hair. It had tons of length and curl to spare! Since hanging up her cloak, though, she has turned into a fashionista. She is now known for her designer tastes and high-fashion magazine spreads. Something else Emma is known for? Her new-ish daring pixie cut. She certainly wasn’t afraid to try out something new!
Emma’s short style completely altered the world’s perception of her. Suddenly this starlet was getting different acting roles and tons of acclaim for her style. Emma’s shorter look channelled Mia Farrow, thanks to her closely cropped ‘do. Over the years, she has played with the length but hasn’t let it grow too much. To style an Emma-inspired haircut of your own, all you need to do is grab your dry shampoo. This will keep oil at bay and add a little extra oomph to your hair.
Are you desperate to change up your look? If so, take a page from one of these dramatic celebrity hair transformations. If Miley, Shailene, and Emma have proven anything, it’s that short is totally sexy! Get ready to look your best – and lose some length this spring.
